it isn't the usual "I put you on a pedestal and think you're infallible so i'll follow you." or "i fear and admire this man so much he's my idol"
it's more like, "look at him, he's our babyboy, our pathetic sad wet beast, our specialest hard working little guy. he's so lame. i'm so proud of him. he'll be in danger if he leaves our sight so how dare you assign him elsewhere, we're going feral rn. if our squad leader dies i'll kill everyone in this encampment and then myself."

regardless of how well/badly your relationship is going you oughta kick them to the curb ngl
i'm reserving my judgement since tbf this behavior was 100% on brand for past him and aside from the drunk talk it doesn't seem like he's fully explained everything to his friends since getting in a relationship. one of them was even the one who put up w/his BS in the middle of the night & let him stay over when he was fighting with garam
once they find out tho and if i see an ounce of judgement there... you boutta catch these hands
because after that fight, even if he did feel a smidge of guilt towards Dan for jumping to conclusions, i shudder to think what kind of treatment Dan would still get while he's in this manic and depressed state as an outlet for his frustrations
